So I recently built my own computer. Everything was working fine, I was able to make everything work fine. Then yesterday morning I started up my computer and it was not connected to the internet. My ethernet was plugged in and everything was as it should be. I went in to device manager and noticed that my realtek network controller was not in the device list under network adapters. I then tried to reinstall my LAN drivers from ASUS (my motherboard) which is how I got it to work in the first place. However, this time when it 'finishes' installing an error pops up and says 'The realtek Network Controller was not found. If deep sleep mode is enabled Please plug the cable.'
I went on to many forums and here is what I've tried so far...
Unplugged Power supply and flipped the power supply switch to off and let it sit for 10 mins (also I let it sit for a few hours and same result)
Took out the RAM and did the above step again
Went into Bios and made sure that my LAN settings were all enabled (also tried resetting all my settings to the default)
Also flashing the bios (I'm not sure if I did this correctly, let me know what I should do, or how I can tell if I did this correctly)
I'm at a loss..... I have been working on this now for several hours and still have not come up with a solution. If anyone can help me with this, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

301 Moved Permanently. The Ubuntu Operating System does not support the Wireless Card you've selected. Those laptops come with a clean windows install + any needed drivers. Arch's KISS attitude is really helpful for that. Of a laptop and want a similar package to the Dell XPS for a lot less money: an Intel NUC might be an idea.
When you try to install ESXi 5.x on an Intel Next Unit of Computing (NUC) system, the installation fails with the following error message:
No Network Adapters
No network adapters were detected. Either no network adapters are physically connected to the system, or a suitable driver could not be located. A third party driver may be required.
Ensure that there is at least one network adapter physically connected to the system before attempting installation. If the problem persists, consult the VMware Knowledge Base.

This message is caused by missing Gigabit Ethernet Controller drivers that are not included in the ESXi Base Image. To fix that, you have to create an customized ESXi Image and add the proper drivers.
Tested with:
- VMware ESXi 5.0
- VMware ESXi 5.1
- VMware ESXi 5.5
Create Customized ISO with PowerCLI (4th, 5th Gen NUC)
You can use PowerCLI to create a customized ISO. (Check this post if you are new to PowerCLI)
- Download and install vSphere PowerCLI 5.8 to use the Image Builder. This requires an account at vmware.com. If you are not entitled to download PowerCLI, register for an evaluation.
- Open VMware vSphere PowerCLI
- Use the following commands to create a customized NUC ESXi Image. This will download all required files (about 300MB) and create a bootable ISO file. If you want to use another ESXi version than ESXi 5.5 February Patch 2015, select another Image Profile. A list of all Image Profiles is available here.

- Burn ESXi-5.5.0-20150204001-NUC.iso to a cd or create a usb flash drive
- Install ESXi
Network Controller Driver Intel
Create Customized ISO with ESXi-Customizer by v-front.de
ESXi-Customizer is a user-friendly program thats can be used to customize the original ESXi installation media with drivers that are not originally included. The script runs entirely on Windows. The required drivers are dependent on your Intel NUC Generation.
- Download required Files (To download .vib files: Right click -> Save target as)
- ESXi 5.1 U1 ISO image (VMware-VMvisor-Installer-5.1.0.update01-1065491.x86_64.iso)
- ESXi 5.5 U2 ISO image (VMware-ESXi-5.5U2-RollupISO2.iso)
- ESXi-Customizer (ESXi-Customizer-v2.7.1.exe)
- Intel Driver (net-e1001e-1.0.0.x86_64.vib) (3rd Gen NUC)
- Intel Driver (net-e1000e-2.3.2.x86_64.vib) (4th Gen NUC)
- Intel Driver (e1000e-3.1.0.2-glr.vib) (5th Gen NUC) from GLRoman
- SATA Controller (sata-xahci-1.27-1.x86_64.vib) (4th Gen NUC) from v-front.de - Run ESXi-Customizer-v2.7.1.exe to extract the required files
- Run ESXi-Customizer.cmd
- Select the ESXi Image and VIB File
- Make sure to tick 'Create (U)EFI-bootable ISO'
- Press Run!
- Repeat Step 2-6 to add all required drivers
- Burn the new created ISO file and use it in your Intel NUC
